The Queens English is very badly

The Queens English is very badly
butchered at times in the House.
Very nearly quorum ofthe House
was at the opera last evening.
1t is said there were more ladies at
the Inauguration Monday than have
been seen at the Capital for many
years.
DIR. Harwell, the present excellent
Representative from Giles, is said to
be the only man who voted for the
passage of the late dog law, who has
ever succeeded in getting into the
legislative halls'again.
The resolution to publish the
names of those voting against the
resolution granting each member SIS
worth of stamps and. afterwards re-
ceiving them was only defeated by
the time arriving for taking the
ballots for United States Senatorship.
A bill of very considerable interest,
as well as importance, is the one in
troduced yesterday in the House by
Mr.. Fowler, to refund the dog tax
collected under the operations of the
dog law. The bill provides that each
man who paid such tax shall be cred
tied on his tax of 1887 by the amount
so paid on such taxes.
There is said to have been the
largest crowd yesterday in the Hall
of Representatives that has witnessed
a similar occasion for many years.
The hall and galleries were packed
to overlooking, and as Gov. Taylor
expressed it, he hadn't hardly room
to see his own show.

Some Points About the City School.

One of the most provoking things
in the world is a smoking fireplace or
stove. By some popularity in the
construction of the flues at the City
school building, on windy days the
stoves reverse the order of things and
send the smoke out into the room,
and the heat, if any is generated, out
ofthe chimney. American ingenuity
has never yet devised any arrange
ment of long stove pipe with two or
three elbows in it which would not
fill up with SCOT, and very few such
pipes will give proper draft when
perfectly clean, and of course are
worse when half filled with SCOT and
ashes. The city school has had to
dismiss several days on account of the
smoking stoves. Enough money has
been spent on these stoves to have
built good fiues, which should have
been done in the beginning. Too
much economy is quite frequently the
worst form of extravaganza. 1t pays
to do things right to begin with, even
though the cost is greater. OF course a
man has right to experiment with
his own money and his private pro-
perty as much as he likes, but when
it comes to handling public funds and
public property the case is different.
No official has a right to be parsimO-
NOUS with public institutions. Every
arrangement to promote the effective
ness of the city school should be made
properly, regardless of cost. Now
that the town has got the bear by the
tail it can better afford to wiggle the
bear than it can to let the bear wiggle
the town. The building came very
near being destroyed by fire on We'd
nesday. The floor in the lower story
caught by some means and quite a
large hole was burned. 1t was for.
tunately discovered and eXtinguished
before any serious damage ensued.
And there is not a dollar of insurance
on it. If the building had burned
wouldn't the people Of the town felt
like holding the board of Mayor and
Aldermen responsible for the loss on
account of their negligence in failing
to insure the property? No private
citizen of ordinary business judgment
and capacity would carry the risk
without insurance. Why should the
people do it. The town owes some
$4,000 or more for the building and
furniture. If they should be destroy.
ed by fire the people would have tc
continue to pay school taxes until the
debt was eXtinguished without any
of the advantages of school. The towr
would be three or four thousand
dollars out of pocket for less than 6
quarter of an acre of land. Too much
economy has made paupers of thou
sands of men and bankrupted many
public treasures. Let the Board have
the building and furniture insured
without further delay.
